I got my PS2 on Friday morning. True I had to get up at 4.30 in order to be there to collect it at 7am but it was definately worth it.
I love the beautiful machine. TTT is absolutely awesome. The graphics are unbelievable and the game play is brilliant. The only fault I can find is the scrolling thing, when as many reviews have said sometimes it does look like you are fighting on a revolving disk disconected from the backgrounds. BUT as it makes no difference whatsoever to the game play it does not bother me in the slightest. The backgounds in general are beautifully realised and the whole game just oozes class. I spent hours playing it on Saturday night (about 7 hours straight actually) and I have unlocked the theatre mode, tekken bowl, the screen capture option and all but one of the characters.
Once I have unlocked them all I am going to concentrate on becoming a Tekken master with my favourite few characters.
As for SSX well that game is flawless. Babylonian you are in for a treat when you get your hands on this. It is original, well thought out, brilliantly designed tracks and great fun to play. It is so fast you really get the adrenaline rush associated with these sports and the tricks are not just gimmicks but an integral part of the play. I was expecting it to be awesome from all the reviews I had read and I was not disappointed its amazing.
You will soon get into pulling crazy stunts and exploring off piste.
The only thing that has surprised me as that it is quite hard. I have not managed to unlock any of the other tracks yet (Snowdream is the one you start with) and I hope I can soon as I am getting a bit fed up with Snowdream. To be honest though as I have spent most of my weekend on TTT I have not put in the time required to get very good at SSX yet so I should not be complaining.
All in all though I can say that buying the PS2 was the best decision I ever made. It is amazing and these are just the 1st generation games!!!
Go out and buy one as soon as you have the chance, if you dont then you obviously are not into games.

I wouldnt sell it even if I could get a grand, as I have been waiting so long for it and I love it so much. Its sad but its true my PS2 is much more important than money. I dont know what I would consider selling it for actually!!
Babylonian, thanks for pointing out the Madden release date. That is my next PS2 purchase and I will be there on release day.
I dont know how long SR wait before sending out the games but I hope it will be soon as I am dying to play a full game of ISS 2000!!!
